The synthesis of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline derivatives (4-quinolones) based on a BSA [N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide]-mediated cyclization of substituted 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-(alkyl/arylamino)prop-2-en-1-ones is described. The reaction belongs to a rare set of cyclizations in which a methoxy group serves as the leaving group. Reaction takes place by the action of silylating agent under mild conditions and provides high yields of pure products following simple aqueous work-up. The versatility of the approach is exemplified by a wide range of 1-alkyl/aryl 3-carboxylates and 3-nitriles that have been prepared. A crucial advantage of this approach is the facile availability of starting methoxy compounds enabling new synthetic possibilities as well as improved cost efficiency. A new approach to the synthesis of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline (4-quinolone) derivatives using a BSA-mediated reaction was developed; this entails an example of rare cyclizations in which an OMe group serves as a leaving group. This transformation has great synthetic potential due to the phenolic framework of starting materials and the mildness of the reagent.

Novel 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-substituted phenylquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives 12a-n were designed and prepared through an intramolecular cyclization reaction and evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity. Among the synthesized compounds, 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)quinolin-2(1H)-one (12e) displayed potent cytotoxicity against several different tumor cell lines at a sub-micromolar level. Furthermore, results of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis suggested that 12e induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase accompanied by apoptosis in HL-60 and H460 cells. This action was confirmed by Hoechst staining and caspase-3 activation. Due to their easy synthesis and remarkable biological activities, 4-phenylquinolin-2(1H)-one analogs (4-PQs) are promising new anticancer leads based on the quinoline scaffold. Accordingly, compound 12e was identified as a new lead compound that merits further optimization and development as an anticancer candidate.
